Day 2 of the TENACITy Project 1st Pilot has successfully concluded! Today's activities featured an extended presentation of the scenarios, followed by a hands-on session coordinated by our technical partners. Participants had the opportunity to engage directly with the developed tools, exploring their functionalities within the presented scenarios. The day also included a round table discussion, leading to insightful conversations and feedback. The end users completed the scenarios using the tools, and the event concluded with assessment via quiz. A big thank you to the TENACITy Consortium and the external PIUs for their participation. Your presence and contributions are greatly appreciated. #TENACITy #Project #HorizonEurope #Security #Pilot #ResearchProject #InnovationInAction EUROPEAN DYNAMICS SPACE HELLAS S.A.

We are halfway there! And there is still some important work to be done! The EURMARS Project has reached a significant milestone with the successful completion of our first review event, marking a pivotal transition into the next phase of our journey. The review event took place in Brussels on 28th of May and provided our partners with the opportunity to meet in person, present the goals achieved while allowing for effective discussions and deliberating on the next steps and future developments based on the feedback received. The insights and feedback gathered from this review event have already begun to catalyse the activities for the upcoming piloting activites. Our team is more energised and committed than ever to push the boundaries of what is possible in our field. As we move into the second half of our journey, we are focused on enhancing our designs, refining operational workflows, and further developing the EURMARS platform. #EURMARS #Project #HorizonEU #Review #Event #Innovation #Update EUROPEAN DYNAMICS AIT Austrian Institute of Technology Bulgarian Defence Institute GEOSYSTEMS HELLAS S.A.
